Chapter 192(2/2)
Stewie said, handing over some satellite photos.
Li Xiao looked at these satellite photos and curled his lips helplessly.
The entire west of Moscow is the vast Russian Plain.
But just on the road from Smolensk to Moscow, there are several hilly areas.
The hilly area is more than 100 kilometers long, and there are countless hills with an altitude of 200 to 300 meters.
In addition, Russia is a vast and sparsely populated place with very dense vegetation.
These hills became excellent hiding places for the German army.
It was not too easy for the Air Force to find the German troops hiding in such a dense and vast area.
"Then issue a retreat order immediately, and be sure to retreat behind the Third Division's defense line before dark.
The retreating troops were immediately reorganized and replenished, and a new line of defense was built ten kilometers behind the third division.
We must use the echelon defense strategy to defend against the coalition's attack.
Even if we can't crush their attack, it would still be good to delay or frustrate their attack."
"No!" Stewie immediately ordered the communications troops to convey the commander's order.
Li Xiao was also a little worried. After all, the Third Division had just arrived in Russia and had to face such a difficult situation. He was really worried.
Just when Li Xiao gave the order to retreat, the German troops in the front were also making readjustments.
Inside the headquarters, Mao Qi, with his big bald head, was standing in front of the huge sand table with Kong Tingxun.
"Hans!
Your suggestion is very good. We hide during the day and attack at night, which greatly reduces our casualties.
In the past two days of attack, we have successfully advanced 20 kilometers.
If we hadn't encountered the powerful sniper attack from the Ming Dynasty army, we would have surrounded the Russian army!"
Moltke was in a good mood. He had advanced 20 kilometers in the first two days of the war, and the casualties of the troops were not heavy.
For a general with two million men under his command, the casualties of several thousand casualties are almost negligible.
"Marshal Moltke, we must advance to Moscow as soon as possible.
Since the Ming Dynasty troops have pinned down our two wings, we cannot successfully surround the retreating Russian army.
Then we simply give up the two wings and break through the center tonight.
Then the troops in the center swept to both sides and surrounded the resisting Ming army.
Even though Napoleon tried his best, he could not annihilate all the Ming army.
This time, as soon as we take action, we will destroy the two divisions of the Ming Army.
The head of state will be very happy when he hears such news."
Kong Tingxun had a smile in his eyes, as if the German army had already eaten the Ming army.
As a top student at the Shanhaiguan Army Officer School, Kong Tingxun learned battle science very well.
When the German army attacks the Russian army, it is like cutting butter with a knife.
The morale of the Russian army has collapsed across the board. They are all scrambling to escape, and no one is willing to stay behind and die.
At this time, the main attack direction was changed, assaults were carried out from both wings, and forces were concentrated to surround the Russian army and engage in a battle of annihilation.
Break through to the current center, and then reversely encircle the two divisions of the Ming Army at both ends of the battle line.
Since the war started last year, many coalition divisions have been annihilated by the Ming army, but the coalition has not once successfully annihilated the Ming army at the division level.
And Kong Tingxun knew the biggest weakness of the Ming army!
That is, regardless of offense or defense, the Ming army relied heavily on artillery.
Without artillery or air support, the Ming infantry was actually no more powerful than the German army.
Because of this, the Ming army was most afraid of being attacked from both sides.
As long as everything goes well tonight, history can be made.
"This proposal is very good!" Moltke had to admit that there was a reason why this Oriental was so favored by the head of state.
The Northern Front Allied Forces were led by the German army and supplemented by the armies of the Nordic countries.
The total number of people exceeds 2 million. As a commander of such a large army, if he loses this battle, he might as well commit suicide.
In the evening, the German army launched another fierce attack.
The focus of the attack is the middle front of the Russian defense!
After preparing for fierce artillery fire, when the German army rushed to the Russian position panting, everything was silent.
Except for the occasional unlucky guy who stepped on a mine, they didn't see a single Russian soldier.
Could it be said that all the Russian troops have escaped?
The German army did not hesitate and immediately followed the pre-war plan and began to sweep towards both wings, hoping to surround the two Ming army divisions that were still resisting.
But what they didn't expect was that when they rushed to the Ming army's position, the Ming army also disappeared.
However, the mines left behind by the Ming army were much more than those left by the Russian army.
The company that was the first to rush to the Ming army's position did not see a single enemy soldier and suffered more than thirty casualties.
The company commander howled in anger, but couldn't find a place to vent his anger.
Both the Ming and Russian armies chose to retreat, which made Mao Qi extremely happy.
As soon as the news from the front came back, he issued a pursuit order.
Countless German troops surged across the front like a tide.
At four o'clock in the morning, under the dim moonlight, Batu saw a group of sneaky German soldiers.
The Mongolian battalion has just been reorganized, and Batu has also carried two bars and three stars on his shoulders.
He is the only colonel and battalion commander in the Ming Dynasty's army.
Now, together with the Mongolian battalion, he was assigned to the third division that had just entered Russia.
After all, the troops of the Third Division had just arrived from China and were not that familiar with the battlefield.
"Hugjiril, you lead a company on the tank, and when you see the red flare, attack!"
"No!" Huge Jirel's voice came from the phone receiver.
The regiment assigned a tank platoon and nine armored personnel carriers to the Mongolian battalion to follow them in battle.
This has never happened before. Batu's plan tonight is to use two companies to withstand the German army's attack.
Hugjiril and others rode in tanks and armored vehicles, went around to the rear of the German army, and gave them a blow.
According to the orders passed down from above, you can retreat if the enemy is strong, but you must kill the enemy as much as possible.
Seeing the shadowy German army on the opposite side, Batu had no fear at all.
Behind him, there was an entire artillery battalion providing him with fire support.
Moreover, this was a strengthened artillery battalion, because Batu saw a small-caliber rocket launcher that he had never seen before inside.
